The term weigh-in scares me.
39.gif
Haha. Left-over term from several attempts at Weight Watchers.
20.gif


Went when I was 13. I had to get a doctor''s note to say I could stop losing because even though I wasn''t in their ''range'' yet, I was starting to feel skeletal and my cheeks were hollowing out.

Went back a couple times in college. Yes, a couple. Managed to gain it all back and more the first time, but managed to keep about half of it off the second time. The problem is they don''t teach you to eat healthy. They just assign Points to foods and you eat a certain number of points. 2 apples and a 100 calorie pack of cheetos have the same Points value, but not NEARLY the same nutritional value. But what do you think people eat? So when I stopped, my eating habits hadn''t changed, and I gained it back.

I''m doing WAY better now with just tracking my food online. It also tracks basic nutrients and water, so I''m actually changing habits instead of just eating less.

**end testimonial, lol**
ugh... that is a rather fatal flaw in WW! I''ve heard people say it really worked for them, but you''re right, if you don''t choose healthy foods... you''re not doing yourself any favors even if you DO lose weight.

my new *thing* is to just choose healthy over junky initially, and but not really restrict myself, ya know? try to fill up on veggies, but also have a cupcake. That way I don''t feel like I''m missing out.

plus Im drinking crazy amounts of water. my skin is thanking me!
That''s totally what I''m doing, too. Eat healthy, and indulge my sweet tooth every once in awhile. Oh yeah, and burn calories in the gym. No cupcake guilt, and no impending sweets binge if I stop myself from eating them for too long!
VC I wish you could be my gym buddy...I''d totally go every day if you were. I need some of your discipline!
UGH! I know!!

Why can''t you still be in A2, VC??

Ok, do any of you in ST have *really* dry skin and have a moisturizer that they love?


No matter how much water I drink, or moisturizer I use, I still have a bit of flaking. Its driving me crazy!

For body lotion I use Gold Bond Ultimate Healing. It''s really mild and pretty darn scentless. Very thick and rich though. For face I''ve started using the aloe day and night cream from the body shop. It''s very mild, not greasy and again, has very little scent. My skin is super duper dry in the winter so I tend to use the night cream for the day since it''s heavier and then I''ll top off with the day if I need a little more before putting on makeup, etc.

Yeah I think I need a night cream. I wonder if Clinique has a good one. I use the dramatically different lotion which really is good, but I need something even stronger for night. I don''t have a night lotion right now.
 
Are you talking body or face, Elle? I have sensitive skin, so I can''t use much or it freaks out. Aveeno and Cetaphil are good for the bod. My face is also oily, so it just sucks. We''re in a fight right now.
